I love these. Over last 2 years Ive purchased pairs of them on three occasions. My original pairs are still in great shape after tons of wear but I wanted additional colors. Then I bought a couple more pairs bc they were on sale and I was afraid that meant they were discontinued. (Not sure about that-we will see). These are light, dry quickly, have...

The blue and grey have sort of a wooly looking color which I dont love. But the khaki, stone and black look great.
Great everyday shorts; don’t be put off by the “board shorts” tag. These are great for chilling and river swims, chores, about town and bouldering. The fabric is thin, but seems hardwearing and the fit and stretch is relaxed and accommodating. The relaxed fit is perfect for my larger posterior and quads; many of the more sports orientated Patagucci... Read More fits do not work for me. I also appreciate the understated colour; no wild boars short patterns/coloureds for me! Great shorts!
You know, you should change your underwear every day, but I don't think you need to change your shorts. These arrived and I was in the middle of a remodel that blocked me out of my closet, at the same time I had a good deal of clothing in the wash. So, I put them on, and ended up wearing them for 8 straight days. These days included, hiking, b...

They are lightweight, comfortable, have pockets in smart places. I like the internal draw-string, they are great shorts.
comfy, stretchy, and good looking. they seem impossible to get dirty so i wore them on a 3 month camping/road trip and felt fine both campin and going into the city. good pockets too. I also like the drawstrings as my weight fluctuates.
I've had a pair for 3 years and they're my favorite pair of shorts. No frills style is versatile enough to be worn casually while the fabric and drawstring make it super convenient to jump in the water. Great for backpacking too. I came here to buy a second pair but unfortunately they're out of stock.
My husband owns a few of these shorts and absolutely LOVES them! On a few occasions (fathers day, anniversary, and birthday) we tried to locate a pair, but there were none available. He currently owns 2 colors and would like to have more. Please produce these shorts again and make them available to your Patagonia customers. Thank you!
Love these shorts, they wash and dry well, perfect for travel. Length is great, im tall so appreciate the longer cut. The tie and mesh pockets is a nice feature meaning I can wear these in the water. Perfect travel short.
Lots of options in this segment but none will go from grill session with the in-laws to lake laps with the boys as quickly as these shorts. Zero drag on undies when you wear them and better than your coolest looking board shorts when dont. Its cheating, just buy em.
After 4 years with 2 pair of Patagonia's prior model of these shorts, I decided to refresh the wardrobe with a new pairs of shorts. These are perfect for the next 4 years.
great pants , good product which is what is expected from Patagonia. Have been using their clothes for the last 10 years . Only negative is the logo in the bottom front leg , would prefer it in the back .
These shorts are unbelievably comfortable. I've never had a pair of shorts that I like wearing so much, and they can be worn as a swimsuit. Couldn't ask for more out of a pair of shorts.
I needed to up my shorts game and scored a couple of pairs of these versatile shorts. They are very comfy. They can be dressed up or down. The material doesnt look nerdy. Perfect for travel.

My wife gave me a pair in one color as a present & after one wearing, I bought another color of the same style.
I live at the beach & these are perfect for so many locations.
This is the most versatile item of clothing I own. These shorts are entirely appropriate casual wear, but can also function as board shorts. This is my second pair and is my go to summer short. When these shorts came along my baggies have been relegated to the drawerful . Excellent job Patagonia.

Nice water shorts that dry very fast. They are fine for everyday wear. They don't bunch up. The material is pretty thin but durable. I like the elastic loop in the pocket that allows you to secure your keys or whatever else has a loop in the water. Well made. Wish there was at least one zipper pocket.
These shorts are the first size 34 I have been in in quite some time (> 10 years), and they felt great. We bought 2 pair for me, and I wore them both, and slept in them both. They are super cozy, long enough to cover my "unmentionables," and all-around a good value.
these shorts are great, because they look awesome, but are made of a synthetic cloth that does not get sweaty, so I feel cool wearing them.
I highly recommend these.
quick drying casual shorts.
These are my new favorite shorts. Love the stretch and utility of them. They are at home at the beach and making store runs. I normally wear them with a friction belt because of the stretch around the waist. I find it more comfortable than using the drawstring. Plan to buy more in different colors.
These shorts look great, are super light and breathable and can be dressed up for a night on the town in the summer if they're called upon. I bought two pairs and may go back for thirds...
These shorts are comfortable, functional, and presentable. I'm giving them only 4 stars because I would prefer if they were an inch or two shorter in length.
I have purchased four pair of these shorts over the summer. They are the most versatile pair of shorts that I have ever owned.

These shorts are ok, but I bought a pair of similar Stretch Walk shorts 4-5 years ago that were perfect. Patagonia used to use a much lighter/breathable material, and it had a two button-fly, more like a swimsuit. Really wish they had stayed with the original design. I actually bought these because the description said it had a button fly and I tho... Read Moreught maybe they had changed them back, but they did not.

Hello Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It sounds like you may be referring to the M's Stretch Terre Planing Walk Shorts - 20 in. from spring 2016 that had the button fly closure. I am sorry that the current version walk shorts did not meet your expectations.

Very Comfortable
I wear these shorts for golf. They are light and very comfortable on hot summer days. The fit is true to size. I'll buy more of these.
Light, quick drying, comfortable, great fit. Perfect for summer casual wear and hiking and can do double-duty as swim trunks too. I'll be getting more in different colors.
The fabric of these shorts is light and airy, a great option to wear in warmer weather. One downside for me like a lot of Patagonias shorts and pants is the poor fit around the waist and regions below. Ive never understood the utility of the internal fabric tie that comes with so many Patagonia shorts and pants. My suggestion to Patagonia is to wor... Read Morek harder on getting the waist area tailoring more accurate in products such as these shorts so that the short falls more naturally and get rid of the internal tie.
Love the quick dry. Mess pockets are a nice addition. The draw string is unnecessary IMO, thats what belts are for..took it out. Seem overly wrinkly after washing. They fall out though. Would by again.
Came across these first while vacationing in HI last winter and bought a pair (when I realized that I forgot shorts, other than swim shorts) at the Honolulu store. I ended up buying two more pairs this summer (different colors) and wear them constantly for casual outings or out fishing or camping. They aren't technical, but fit great, feel gre... Read Moreat, look great; are quick drying. For everyday shorts, cannot recommend these enough.
I love what Patagonia stands for though some of their clothes are not very stylish or fit poorly (often wide fit). These shorts are versatile but pretty expensive, way shinier than I expected, and lack any cool features (like a zip up pocket).
I love these shorts and have multiple pair. I appreciate the flat-front, side pocket look of a "normal" pair of shorts, but these are my go-to hiking shorts. The slight stretch provides full range of motion without feeling too tight or restrictive. They come in handy when you hike up to a hidden swimming hole or waterfall and need to take... Read More a dip. Quick-drying means you'll be ready do go straight to post-hike drinks with friends (once it's safe to gather again!).
I ordered these for my boyfriend for his birthday. He is fairly picky about his shorts, and always looking for something really comfortable and lightweight for summer. These shorts are perfect and look really nice on him. He wears the same pair everyday, so he is ordering more of the same!
Have had these shorts for a few weeks now and absolutely love them. Can dress up or down, swim in them, and even golf in them (though the mesh pockets arent ideal for having tees in your pocket). Great stretch material that is very comfy and easy to clean. Highly recommend.
I bought three pair of these shorts to wear this summer and they have been perfect. They are the perfect length for me for casual wear. I like the light weight of the fabric and the the way it seems to shed water when that comes in to play. I wouldn't consider these dressy but you could wear them to play a round of golf at a nicer country club... Read More.

Fit is true to size, fabric is very nice, lightweight, with a bit of stretch. 2 suggestions for improvement. 1) reduce the length by 1-2 so it hits a bit higher above the knee & 2) make the drawstring longer. Can barely tie & knot at current length.

This is my second pair. I originally had the product similar to this from the 2002 spring line?
They are great & live up to everything that one would want & expect from Patagonia.
Nice material, comfortable. I think they run a touch long, not a deal breaker. Fix the length of the internal drawstring-it should be long enough to actually tie/make a knot. Fix that & you got a winner. Shouldnt nickel & dime drawstring length.
I ordered 3 differ brands of shorts to try...of the 3 different brands these were my favorite. So much so I sent the other 2 brands back and got 2 more pairs of these. If they had a 4 hole button instead of center post button they would have got 5 stars. It's been my experience that when a center post button fails field repairs are impossible.... Read More..at least these have a draw string too.
I love these shorts and want to wear them everyday I can. I also got another pair in khaki. Super light, super comfy and made of quick drying material so if you have to get wet unexpectedly, you'll be happy you have these on.
This pair is so comfortable and versatile that it never gets a chance to hang in my closet. As soon as I washed it I put it back on. All other shorts are getting lonely!
I purchased a pair online tried them for awhile and then ordered 2 more. Great comfortable and forgiving fit for us older surfers. Easy to hand wash and quickly air dry when traveling.
This is my third pair of Wavefarer Walk shorts. These have become my spring/summer daily wear. I wear 'em in the morning to walk the dog, on the golf course and in the late afternoon for a Zoom cocktail hour. I Loooooovvve these shorts!
Possibly one of my favorite pair of shorts ever. Now that I'm WFH full time, shorts are all I wear and these are easily the most comfortable I have. Haven't tried them on a real hike, but they're comfortable on walks and rides around town. And the girl friend says they look good on me.
I have worn these to do everything from going to a nicer summer dinner, to going to the beach, to even cutting the grass. They look good with a polo shirt or workout gear. I bought one pair, then quickly another in one more color. They fit true to size and have a string to tie on the inside, so I don't need a belt with them.
Hands down the most functional shorts I've ever owned. I can wear these golfing, hiking, swimming and just about anything else you can think of. The material is perfect weight and will dry fast; the stretch is magnificent. Thanks Patagonia!!
The wavefarer walk shorts are easily my favorite pair of shorts. Not only can you wear them for almost any activity, they are durable and fit perfectly. I am a size 32 waist with long legs and these fit well and look great on my legs. They are a little stretchy and have a waist drawstring that you can tie; no belt needed.

Have these in two colors from last year and just bought a third. Light weight, so great in humid summers in NY, and also at the lake too. And long enough too for a tall. Play golf, beach or out to dinner. Luv 'em.
Fit is perfect, the build quality as well! Quite impressed! Extremely lite! The main button feels very thin, I hope it does not break.. but time will tell!
These shorts are very lightweight and comfortable and they are the perfect length for me as they are not too long or too short. I bought these shorts in three different colors.

Im not sure why this is, but I assume its because the pockets arent deep enough or something. Aside from that issue, these shorts would be perfect, and I dont choose to wear them enough because of that reason. I wish there was a zipper on one of the back pockets or even one of the side pockets so that I wouldnt have to worry about my valuables falling out and losing them if Im not conscious about it when Im occupied with the kids.
These are the shorts I have been looking for forever. It's smart enough to wear to a bar/restaurant/cafe but has enough breathability and stretch to take it on a bike ride/commute to work/hiking or canoeing. If you like spending warm days outside and ending it with a beer or in the pub. These shorts are perfect all around items
Been using this short since a year now, it’s super versatile and comfortable. Use it to go for walks, hikes, swims, travel, pretty much all the time. Dries super quick, easy to wash and wear almost as soon as your wrung it out. Replaces all my previous shorts, just bought second pair different color, but you only need one when traveling.
These shorts are pretty awesome. I live in the desert and can experience temps in the 100's. These shorts are light and airy.

Overall great board shorts. Use them to paddle in an outrigger canoe and surf with 60-80 miles weekly. Only down side is that size runs big so get a smaller size than years prior.
I rarely write reviews, but I have to express how amazing these shorts are. I have three pairs now. So comfy you can sleep in them. I have anxiety that Patagonia might change them in some way.
These shorts are the best! They are the right length, have the perfect amount of stretch and breathe so well. I bought a pair in feather gray, and I loved them so much that I had bought 2 more colors.
I love these in and out of the water! Great for bumming around in the morning, jumping on the paddle-board mid-day, then grilling all afternoon. Quick drying, so no need to change. Just all around awesome.
I'm in and out of the water a lot. My main problem with board shorts is the lack of pockets. It's hard to pack the wallet, car keys, the tacticool knife I to cut cheese and apples, and the baby's pacifier. Do I carry too much stuff? Nope.

Classic flat-front chino styling with flat-lying rubber button fly and closure
Button rubber fly and closure to me means - NO ZIPPER.
The shorts I received have a button closure and a ZIPPER FLY. "ZIPPER FLY" is not mentioned in the product description.

When I read the description of the shorts I recently purchased I got super jazzed because it appeared that the "Classic flat-front chino styling with flat-lying rubber button fly and closure" had returned. However when the shorts arrived I was a bit confused, because they had a ZIPPER, and super disappointed.

Best of both worlds
Love the conveniences of standard shorts (multiple pockets, fit etc.) with the comfort, lightweight and fast drying of board shorts. It's the shorts version of a one board quiver. Simple!
oh, and they look great too.
These are super comfortable, fast drying, and are a style I'm able to wear into the office on casual dress days. Which works great because my office is right by a nice little sandbar and I peel off when there's swell, often hustling back to work. It's great that all I need is a shirt and shoes to pair with these after a surf session ... Read Moreon weekdays.
THAT SAID, the one issue I have is the draw cord is a little short to easily tie two slippery overhands to keep them on, not impossible, just a pinch tricky with the cord being maybe 8" too short.
These shorts have everything I love about the stretch wavefarer boardies, but they are also cut in a way that allows them to be worn to work or a casual gathering that requires a bit more than a boardshort.
New favorite shorts - lightweight, comfy, look so good my girlfriend is making me buy more. Only request - put the key bungy cord in the left pocket so i can keep my wallet in the right and keys in the left.
These are great shorts! Super comfy, light weight, versatile. They can be worn anywhere. I actually bought a 2nd pair right after wearing my first pair for a few days. I’m 5’11 165lbs and bought 33’s they are loose fitting just the way I like.
This is my 3rd pair of these shorts and they are the only shorts I wear. They are comfortable, cool and look good if you need to dress them up a little. During the heat of the summer these are game changers. I'm 6", 180lbs and wear a 34 waist - they fit pretty true to size.
Will probably get a 4th pair next summer.
These shorts are great. Most comfortable shorts I’ve ever owned. But the back pocket is too shallow and my wallet falls out every time I get in or out of my truck. I almost lost it in the parking lot the first time it happened. It happened another time in my driveway. I came out the next morning and my wallet was beside my truck in the driveway. I ...

mostly wear them to the beach to hang out, not for any serious water activity - but occasionally they do get wet when i have to chase after one of my kids into the water. so they're perfect to wear around on a lazy day on the off chance you hit the beach. the only qualm i have is that the drawstrings are a little too short and makes tying them...

Such a great piece! Looks like normal shorts that I can wear around the house or to work... BUT they are as light as board shorts. And I can swim in them too... Kudos on a multi function bit of gear! Have 3 pairs and will get more for sure!
They’re great shorts I bought like four before these last two so six in total. On the first four pairs I had my mother make them a little shorter just my preference otherwise the fit is great. I dig the classic look with a sports function. A critique is I do wear them a lot but 3 pairs all have the same issue the stitching right on the butt area or... Read More anus area starts to come undone. I don’t understand why I don’t think I’m doing anything unusual. I wear them for swimming running some casual riding and work( furniture maker fabricator in miami in a no ac shop) so it might be the riding/ casual cycling. I’ve had my mom fix that area but it’s happened again. Thanks
I wore these shorts nearly every day for four months, walking from Cape Blanco to Hells Canyon — a thousand miles over four mountain ranges, from the world’s deepest ocean to the continent’s deepest river gorge — and they were indestructible. Easy to wash, quick to dry, stylish, snag proof, ready for anything.
I love all 3 of my tech web belts, especially the brown one which just came out. It’s the perfect belt for jeans and a sportscoat and also shirts and a t shirt. Keep up the good work!
